I almost ran back to the office to escape him. Unaware of my hunger, I headed straight to my workspace.
“Deputy Moon, where did you go all of a sudden?”
Baek In Ha, who had planned to go for lunch with me, whined adorably as I returned to my seat.
“Ah, sorry. A friend suddenly came to the vicinity of the company…”
“I see. Did you eat something good? The cafeteria menu wasn’t great today.”
Knowing myself, Moon Da Yul, if I skipped even one meal, it could be disastrous. And I had skipped lunch. This was all because of him.
“Just something… Hahaha.”
After giving Baek In Ha a vague response, I checked my afternoon schedule.
Fortunately or unfortunately, work was piling up to the extent that I might have to work overtime. Before lunchtime was even over, I began my work.
As I started working and no other thoughts came to mind, I felt hungry and had to munch on my precious snacks in my desk drawer. As I stared at the last remaining snack, another memory suddenly flashed into my mind.
“I want some snacks.”
“Snacks? All of a sudden?”
“Yeah. You know the one I usually eat. That one.”
“You’re so demanding. Really. Hold on.”
“I won’t bite if you buy me a snack.”
“Just… Bite.”
The content of the conversation wouldn’t have been a problem… but the location was. It was on a bed. And I promptly bit him.
I threw the snack back in the drawer and slammed it shut, grabbing my head.
“Aaaargh.”
“Deputy Moon? Are you okay?”
Baek In Ha peeked her head over the partition at my outburst. Her face was filled with concern.
“No. I’m not okay.”
“Can I help you with anything?”
If only Baek In Ha could help, it would be great. Grateful, even if just in words, I handed her the last remaining snack.
Somehow, I finished the work. Late at night, on the bus ride home, I just blankly stared out the window.
Perhaps because I had a heavy dinner, my stomach was still full. Out of habit, I headed towards the convenience store near my home. I halted my steps naturally heading towards the alcohol aisle.
“You can’t even break your habit after drinking to this point, can you?”
Blaming my legs, I barely turned around, bought an electrolyte drink, and exited the convenience store.
The familiar parttime convenience store worker held back a laugh, saying, “Goodbye.” and I replied, “Yes, goodbye.”
As I guzzled down the electrolyte drink and returned home, I saw my mom and dad watching TV while chuckling amicably.
“Seems like you two have made up.”
“When did we ever fight?”
At my mother’s words, not wanting to continue the conversation, I quietly entered my room and shut the door.
Without changing my clothes, I lay on the bed and tightly hugged my favorite stuffed toy.
“If you’re not going to remember, then don’t remember at all. It’s torturous when the memories just suddenly pop up. There’s a limit to tormenting someone.”
I wasn’t sure who I was talking to, but I was pretty upset.
I had told him to act normal around me. I had dug my own grave. If I had remembered everything from the beginning, I wouldn’t have been able to tell him to act normal around me.
Once again, I pulled at my hair. That’s when the cell phone still in my bag rang.
Without moving from the bed, I barely pulled my bag closer.
“This is trash… This is a cosmetic product…”
I didn’t even look inside the bag, and just by the touch of my fingertips, I found my cell phone.
I checked the message and flung my phone far away.
It was him.
Is he trying to call me out to order something to eat again tomorrow? That aside, because of the memories starting to resurface, I did not have the confidence to see him.
First. Let’s wash. Let’s think after washing.
Lifting my heavy body, I went to wash up. When I checked my phone after, there was another message.
I took off the wet towel on my head and vigorously scrubbed my hair. What should I reply so that the sensitive guy won’t realize I’m avoiding him?
After much thought, I sent him a reply.
[“Well… I think I will know once I go to the office tomorrow?”] It was a pathetic reply compared to the buildup. It wasn’t a perfect response, but I thought I should avoid the situation for now. [“Okay. Contact me.”] Fortunately, he backed off a little.Future Moon Da Yul, good luck.
With that, I passed all responsibility to the future Moon Da Yul.
“Good morning.”
Maybe because I was tired, I had a deep sleep last night. I woke up on time, arrived at the office on time. It was a leisurely morning.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
